A bizarre conspiracy theory claiming that Rapper Travis Scott's concert, which led to the death of eight people, was a mass satanic ritual has gone viral on social media. Following the deaths both Scott and Drake have been sued for having "incited mayhem" during concert held in Texas.
Eight people were confirmed dead, and hundreds were injured following a huge crowd surge on the opening night of Scott's concert at Astroworld Festival in Houston.

Social Media Discusses 'Satanic Ritual' Theory
Though the cause behind the fatal accident at the concert is still not clear, a new conspiracy theory has emerged on social media suggesting that it was mass satanic ritual.
So that travis scott concert was another ritual. He told the crowd to put a middle finger up to THE SKY. Pure blasphemy towards God. He said to stomp the ground, killing more ppl, ignoring everyone then left. Just look at the way it was set up. Fire/ portals. THEY. SERVE. SATAN.

"I heard about the music frequencies and the graphene oxide in the jab. Do you think what happened at Travis Scott's concert was a Satanic ritual? Seem like it could be. It was creepy how he was singing and staring in the same direction as someone going into cardiac arrest," read another tweet.
People who believe there were ritual human sacrifices at the Travis Scott concert are allowed to vote and that’s at least a small part of the reason we’re doomed https://t.co/yZhnkddWF4

"People are asking why Travis Scott continued the concert despite seeing audience members in clear distress. The imagery is very disturbing. Reminiscent of a satanic ritual. Could this possibly be a modern day human sacrifice or are people out of line for suggesting?" wrote another.

So just a few weeks ago @KylieJenner posted this Picture called „Bloodbath ritual“ and just now her husband @trvisXX joined a festival, gave a concert, with demonic symbols and frequencies and people passed away?
